Hi Doris .... Almost didn't see your post as it was tagging along with the notice that Sandy posted about this Vista board. It's a great question and would look good if posted as a separate question to be sure that everyone is aware of the subject matter. Takes a little bit of practice 'n for new posters on forums to get used to posting a new thread. Then the next thing seen is they're posting lots of answers instead of questions (voice of experience here...LOL) ...
You have pointed out a wonderful approach to email practices, being conscientious in not sending other folks email addresses across the web for spammers to collect with their sniffing programs. You have given an excellent description on how to do it. But, it does pose a problem when a picture is included as if you just do a copy and paste of the picture into a new blank email the next person will only get the wonderful box with a red X in it, not the picture. One way to avoid that is to first save the picture to your computer as a file, probably a picture file with the extension of .jpg. Then you can create the new narrative email message or do a copy/paste of the text portion of the first email you are forwarding. Now, attach the saved picture file to your new email so the recipient gets it as a saved file attachment. That way they see the picture and not the red x in a box.
And you have done a very neat and clean job of sending along an email without risking exposing all those legitimite email addresses to the spammers of cyberspace...... Thanks for the great lesson in "netiquette"...
